7 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR J. CUMNOGK, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods for Making Collars, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a method of making collars and similar articles and is a continuation of my pending application Ser. No. 357,850, filed February 18, 1907.

The method preferably concerns itself with making collars from tubular webs, the

' web or fabric being provided with interwoven portions and a main feature of the invention consists in so weaving the fabric that articles having upper and lower edges of dissimilar contour may be cut therefrom and to that end the interwoven portions are so spaced that the upper part of one article,

. such as a collar, and the lower part of another additional article of the same kind can be formed from the part between the interwoven portions.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of the fabric. Fig. 2 is a plan of a modification.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several drawings.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the fabric, which, in this instance, is a tubular seamless woven fabric; and the two layers of the fabric are indicated by B and C. The interwoven portions of the tubular fabric are indicated by D, and, in Fig. 1, the portions D are woven transversely. of the warp, while in Fig. 2 the interwoven porti ons,'indicated by E,-are preferably formed 7 unstaggered, extending in straight lines. Referring to Fig. 1, it is apparent that the interwoven-portions are so spaced that.

between two rows of interwoven portions there are shown parts of two different collars, to-witz the upper fold of one collar and the lower fold of a second'collar, the

folds ofthe collar being indicated in dotted lines. The upper edges of one collar are of entirely dissimilar contour from the lower edges of the dther collar, and consequently by cutting the upper fold of one collar from thepartof the fabric between worows of interwoven portions there will be left the lower fold ofjanother collar projecting be; yond. one interwoven portion.

E in Fig.12 are broken as indicated inthe drawings instead of extending continip" ously, and one of the ob ects of break ng these portions is to enable the collars or other articles to'be cut or otherwise formed out of the fabric around the broken inter woven portions so that each article shail.

therein,

In order to facilitate the laying out of the collar or article to be cut the interwoven portions I) or E preferably lie end to end in substantially parallel rows. In Fig. 1, the collars are indicated in the dotted lines F,

Having thus described my invention, It claim:

L'The method of forming collars from a fabric by first weaving the fabric with rows of interwoven portions, the interwoven portions consisting of upper and lower layers of fabric woven together and, strips of fabric arranged between the rows of interwoven fabric projccting beyond the inten woven portions in each direction, the width of said strips between. the interwoven porlower fold of another collar, substantially from the material between the interwoven as specified. portions by cutting along a line beyond the 2. The method of forming a ,collar from a interwoven portions and intermediate two tubular fabric by first interweaving together interwoven portions, substantially as speci- 1 5 5 portions'of the upper and lower layers of fied.
